And they were welcomed to "Pomp and Circumstance" and "Rule Britannia". The Falklands were invaded in a desperate attempt of General Galtieri to keep the military junta in power. In Argentina, after the fall of the junta in 1983 and to this day, they (even today's socialist government) are lamenting this defeat by insisting that the Falklands are Argentine territory. But fact is: The Falklands (including South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands) are British, and nobody on the Falklands wants that to change.

Beautiful sight.

I was a 10 Yr old kid watching her leave, return from Weston Shore along Southampton Water. The day after she arrived back, my step dad went to work on her. As he was a docker. He managed to take me on board. Whilst he worked, I was in the Pig (crews bar), got spoilt all day with Soft drinks and sweets. Even a lunch in their mess. I met an RM WO2. I told him I wanted to join up when old enough. I served 3 different times in the British Army. Now a disabled veteran. I think seeing Canberra return was the day I knew for sure I wanted to join up. I even went to the careers office at 14. Told to come back at 15 and 3 months. I joined the Jnr Ldrs Royal Artillery in June 88. Ruptured Achilles tendon Injury, so either backsquad or rejoin at 17.5yrs. Being from Southampton I knew about the military port at Marchwood. Which was what I wanted first. So luckily I managed to join the RCT Maritime on Army Landing Craft, Mexeflote rafts, Tugs, LCVPS, small fast patrol boats etc. Served 3 great yrs as a regular soldier. Made local acting LCPL. I then joined the Territorial Army from 02 to 04. Unfortunately I broke my back doing a charity parachute jump on a weekend off from SAS Signals pre Selection in March 03. June 03 had to come off Selection. As went on Course with a broken back. it was a miracle I lasted as long as I did. My health journey is a 28yr ongoing health nightmare. Too much history to list. Now a disabled British Army Veteran. Been declared homeless bankrupt the lot. lost everything in 06. Very long story. I was attached to 3rd Commando Brigade RM as Commando Logistics in 17 Port & Maritime Regt RCT (now RLC). Had some great mentors ftom the Falklands. Learnt so much from these very brave souls.

I was 4 when they sailed off and 5 when they returned. I get goosebumps watching footage from the return - thinking of the poor souls who didn’t get to come home. But, this is definitely something to feel proud of 👍🏻

Pity for those who never came back alive,even worse for those families never received theirs sons .

When the Argentinians struck, the Empire struck back. The Falklands were liberated from the Argies, Galtieri was shown where to walk, and the Falklanders rejoiced. Because it is British men and women who are the true natives to those islands.
